Family And Relationships
家族と血縁関係

For as long as we live, we will always have memories of being together and doing things as a family. This might be vacations together to a far away place such as Disneyland where it might be the trip of a lifetime for many. It might just as easily be a family gathering in the immediate vicinity as long as the family is together and doing things that are fun for all.

The best memories are usually built upon when everyone in the family is trying to do something for each of the other family members. Whenever we do something for someone else that brings happiness to them, it makes us feel good to know that we helped brightened their life even for a brief moment. This promotes laughter and happiness for everyone and in turn tends to remain in our memory as a good family moment.

The wonderful thing about family memories is that as we progress through life we will always have them to recall. Many times after a family member has passed on we will think back on the great times we had with them. Whenever we are together as a family, we should do everything that is in our power to promote these happy memories.
